Henn's father was an non-commissioned officer of the U.S. Air Force, and his duties
led the family to relocate to England in the mid-1980s, where Carrie
auditioned and got the part of "Newt" in the feature film.
Transferred once more to Castle Air Force Base by the time
the film premiered, Carrie and her family viewed the film for the
first time in a local Merced California movie theatre as guests of
the Studio, and UA Theatre chain.
